AltoThought is designed to guide you through reframing negative thoughts, enhancing your cognitive process. Originally created to support my own cognitive behavioral therapy journey, it is now available to assist you in reshaping your mindset. Here's how AltoThought works: Begin by jotting down your initial thought, whatever it may be, and note your current feelings. Next, visit the Alternative tab to explore a new perspective on that thought. This helps you add nuance and reshape any cognitive patterns that may be holding you back. Analyze your progress with insightful statistics that reveal how your feelings evolve through the practice of alternative thinking. Let AltoThought be your companion in developing a healthier and more balanced thought process.

Habituate gives you a simple, structured way to plan your recovery, track your sessions, view your history and track your progress over time. Key Features Create Personal Exposure Scenarios Define situations that are difficult for you and you want to practise — for example making a phone call to a stranger, taking public transport, or visiting a busy supermarket. Guided Timed Exposure Sessions Run focused exposure sessions with a built-in countdown timer, helping you stay present and committed throughout each session.

Seeing these patterns over time can help reduce fear and build awareness. See Your Progress Clearly View charts and statistics that show how your anxiety changes across sessions, helping you recognise improvement that’s easy to miss day-to-day.
